THE BALDERDASH BLOG!: Game 1 - First round! (Definitions, VOTES AND SCORES are up!)

Alright everyone. Round one of the first game on the Balderdash blog is officially started.

You have until Saturday morning to send me your definitions by email to avaelyn@gmail.com.

*EDIT* Okay, here's the definitions that everyone submitted. Comment on this post to let me know which one you vote for.

Okay everyone, voting is done and here's the results!!

The word is: Hygog.

To protrude or bulge the eyes like a fish. - Becky - Votes: 2 (Trav, Auntie Sue)
An unsatisfied desire. - the right one! - Votes: 1 (Becky)
An exclamation of discovery used in the scientific community. Similar to eureka, but usually spoken with multiple octaves used and followed by chuckling and clapping. - Trav
A moustache that has no separation or cannot be differentiated from nose hair; nose hair and moustache seamlessly join together. - Jonathan - (one fake vote by Uncle David LOL)
A surgical instrument used in the removal of the appendix. - Auntie Sue - Votes: 1 (Jonathan)

Also, I just updated the rules with how to divvy up the points. So I've gave everyone their points, and now the turn moves to Trav (as you can tell because his name is in caps and is capped by asterisks. I gave the names links to their profiles, so the bold thing didn't work anymore)!

Aaaaaand... Uncle David and Jonathan! Don't forget to check your email for the notification about being an author on the blog!

YAYYY! Round 2. I'm excited to play this round.

How To Play

The order for whose turn it is to pick a word to define will be in the sidebar under the heading "Who's playing?". When it's your turn, your name will be underlined, and in bold capital letters. If it is your turn, find an obscure word for everyone to try and define and make a post with just that word and your email address on the Balderdash blog. If you have the Balderdash board game at home, that's even better, because you can just pick one from there. Everyone else will have a day or two to send you an email with their made-up definition. After the time is up, you edit your post, listing all of the definitions, including the right one. Make sure that you aren't writing names on them, and try to fix any spelling or grammatical errors so everything is consistent. And then everyone will write a comment and vote on which one they think is the right one. You get one point if someone guesses yours, and two points if you guess the right one. There will be a tally of the points in the sidebar under "Who's playing?" (I can keep a tally of the points). We'll set a date that each game goes for, and at the end of that time frame, whoever has the most points WINS!

Sounds great, right?

Don't forget how the points work:

1 point to each player for every vote of his/her definition.
2 points to a player chooses the real definition.
3 points to the reader if no one chooses the real definition
3 points if someone submits a definition similar to the real one.
